What odds-api MCP server does
The odds-api MCP server exposes live data from Polymarket soccer prediction markets. Its stated scope covers two related data types: market odds and order-book depth. That makes it relevant to agents that need to inspect current market conditions, compare available prices, or read the depth visible in a soccer prediction-market order book.
The odds-api MCP server is focused on soccer markets on Polymarket. The supplied material does not indicate support for other sports, non-sports prediction markets, historical datasets, account actions, trading, or order placement. Treat the server as a read-oriented source of market information unless further documentation confirms additional operations.
How it works
An MCP-compatible agent connects to odds-api and requests the Polymarket data exposed by the server. The available description identifies live odds and order-book depth as its main capabilities, but does not provide the individual MCP tool names, request parameters, response schemas, update model, or transport details.
Because those implementation details are not available, developers should verify how markets are selected, how results identify events and outcomes, whether depth is returned by price level, and how current the returned values are before building production workflows around it. The source material confirms the data domain, not a specific polling, streaming, or caching behavior.
Setup and configuration
No setup instructions are available in the supplied material. The repository or source URL is listed as https://frontofgoal.com, but no installation command, package name, configuration file, command-line entry point, transport, or environment variable is documented here. Installation and connection details should therefore be confirmed from the project’s current documentation before deployment.
No required environment variables can be identified from the available information. The material also does not state whether the server needs Polymarket credentials, an API key, or any other authentication setting.
Tools and capabilities
The documented capabilities are:
- Retrieve live soccer prediction-market odds from Polymarket.
- Inspect order-book depth for Polymarket soccer prediction markets.
- Provide those market data capabilities through MCP to a compatible agent.
The source does not list tool names or describe write operations. In particular, it does not establish support for submitting orders, managing positions, accessing balances, or retrieving historical odds.
Limitations and notes
The odds-api MCP server’s available description is brief, and its README is unavailable. Client compatibility, installation method, protocol transport, authentication, rate limits, data fields, update frequency, and error behavior cannot be verified from the provided material.
Use the odds-api MCP server for the documented Polymarket soccer data only. Confirm the project’s current documentation for operational details and test returned values against the intended market before relying on them in an automated decision workflow.
